[ Excerpts Coming Soon ] An educational documentary film featuring H.E. Khempo Yurmed Tinly Rinpoche  (1950-2005).

Filmed by Marguerite Lorimer, narrated and edited by John Veltri.

THE BUDDHA PROJECT is about the global impact of the destruction of the giant 1200 year old twin Buddha statues in Afghanistan, and a Tibetan Buddhist Rinpoche’s solution for the building of world peace.  IMPACT:  over 20,000 people watched this inspiring ecumenical film at the Dalai Lama’s World Peace Conference in Miami Florida.

H.E. Khempo Yurmed Tinly Rinpoche was a revered Tibetan Buddhist Rinpoche, an internationally respected teacher in the Dzogchen Lineage of Buddhism, and a friend to many people throughout the world.  Khempo received his formal education in Tibet and prior to immigrating to the United States was Head Lama for the Royal Family of Bhutan.

A visionary who personally attempted to prevent the destruction of the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan, Khempo shared his profound knowledge about Interdependent Origination and the creation of world peace.  Khempo strongly believed, “There is only one religion:  the religion of peace”.
